Year-round tax advisory, strategy, and compliance for service based business owners and self-employed professionals nationwide.
The right entity structure could save you thousands of dollars annually.
And that's just from an S Corp election alone.
I'm Ameen Salous, CPA and founder of Salous CPA. Most service business owners I meet are stuck. Tax software misses the strategy. High-volume firms file the return and disappear. Neither approach is built around you.
I spent nearly a decade inside large CPA firms watching that gap play out, and I built Salous CPA to close it. We trade the once-a-year filing model for year-round proactive advisory, and we handle your books, your strategy, and your compliance under one roof. One CPA, one relationship, and a real plan to keep more of what you earn.
As a sole proprietor or single-member LLC, your self-employment tax (Social Security and Medicare) is roughly 15.3% on every dollar of net profit.
An S corp election lets you split that profit between reasonable salary and distributions. The salary portion is subject to SE Tax (aka FICA). The distribution portion is not. For profitable business owners, this single move alone can save you thousands of dollars annually.
But the S election is only step one. Doing it right means determining an optimal, reasonable salary that maximizes QBID, processing shareholder payroll, electing PTET when beneficial, and maximizing retirement contributions. That's the work we do.
Based on a reasonable salary of 35% of profit. Actual savings vary by income, state, and reasonable compensation.
See how much you could save in self-employment taxes by electing S corp status. Adjust your profit, filing status, and a reasonable W-2 salary to see the impact.

If you run a profitable business and your tax situation has outgrown DIY software, you're in the right place. We work with high earning service business owners who want a real CPA, not a chatbot.
Tax preparation tells you what happened. Tax planning changes what happens next. Our tax advisory services put a CPA in your corner year-round, so there's no surprises in April.
For sole proprietors and single member LLCs ready to stop overpaying on taxes.
